LOL! I've also had similar thoughts. Most of my business now is from calls and emails. Thankfully, it's quite enough for our needs. I've only had to make a few calls this year. I like computerized records when it comes time to make marketing calls, though. You could almost do a paper and pencil business if you schedule the next appointment while you're there in the home. Carry a real paper calendar (I haven't owned one of those in 6 years now), and mark it down right then and there. Call a week ahead, and you'd be good to go. -- JF On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 4:02 PM, Daniel Carlton <carltonpiano at sbcglobal.net>wrote: > You know, even after giving the advice yesterday to get a Mac, I have > seriously thought about going to paper and pencil for running my business.
